It is the brainchild of Tim Etchells, the founder of the acclaimed Hong Kong international fairART HK. Sydney Contem- p orary will feature established and emerging art fromAustralia and overseas, spanning genres, timelines, trends and media. "We expect it to play a significant role in helping to focus attention on the Sydney art scene in the same way that ART HK focused attention on Asian art," Etchells says. The first events will be held next April. MUSIC George Michael, pictured, is the latest big-name musician to get the orchestral treatment, with his back catalogue including Father Figitre, Faith and Care- less Whisper rearranged for large-scale production. Michael says he got the idea from his good pal Tony Bennett, whose orchestral pairings have given his croon- ings added oomph. Michael makes good on his promise to return after last year's Symphonica tour was postponed due to ill health. Noyember17,Allphones Arena, $110-$200,132 849. Tickets on sale now. TICKETS With the amount of "work" it seems he's had done, Kenny Rogers looks less like himself than some of his impersonators. What the mimics can't match is the country music legend's voice, stage presence or career across decades of singing, acting and producing and hits such as The Gambler, Coward of the County and Lucille. Team him with Glen Campbell, of Wichita Lineman and Galveston fame, and it is a feast of country greatness. Tickets go on sale today. I August 15 and 16, State Theatre, city.
